Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Leng Xi hurriedly explained in a free and easy manner,

"I don't understand what my father said. I am very happy that my fourth brother is about to ascend the throne. Even if something happens that shouldn't happen, it has nothing to do with me. Please rest assured, father."

"That's good. I believe Yu'er will order Shuntian Mansion to investigate the unprovoked injuries and deaths of people in Prince Yu's Mansion."

After saying this, the emperor waved his hands feebly,

"I'm tired and want to take a rest. You can go down first!"

Leng Xi didn't pause for a moment and hurriedly replied with fists in his hands:

"My son retire."

After leaving these words, he turned around hurriedly and walked quickly towards the door.

Seeing him leaving, Liu Xi walked in with small steps, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, please take a rest!"

The emperor covered his mouth and coughed lightly, sighed, and said sadly:

"This kid Xi'er has changed in the past few years. He was not like this before. Hey, do royal descendants really change when it comes to their power and status?"

Liu Xi tightened her lips, lowered her hands and replied:

"I don't dare to make any unreasonable comments."

"Tomorrow, you go to Prince Yu's Mansion in person to express your condolences to the two generals. After all, he and Yu'er have made contributions to the Daning Kingdom. When you go, many people who want to talk will shut up."

"The emperor is wise and this old slave admires him!"

"Haha! Do you think that if Xi'er brings someone to present Yu'er's report in front of me, I will issue an imperial edict and disrupt what Yu'er has announced to the public like before? No, I will Although he is old, he is still more awake than before. He finally agreed to take this throne. If I want to take away even this right, do you think he will come to take this throne? If he doesn't take it, this throne Who do I want to pass it on to? Xi'er is too preoccupied and has no generosity. Ming'er is petty and lacks scheming. Only Yu'er, who has no interest in the throne at all, is suitable. Besides, I have already issued the imperial edict of canonization. He What he says now is a golden message. If he hadn't said that he still had some matters to deal with, I would have asked him to ascend the throne immediately."

Liu Xi was very moved by the emperor's words. He looked at the emperor with red eyes, choked with sobs and nodded:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. You have really opened your eyes now. You are right to do this. It is difficult for Prince Yu to accept the death of Shuang General. He wants to use a high-standard funeral ceremony to comfort his grief. I I think it’s understandable, so I’ll go prepare now and go to Prince Yu’s Mansion to express my condolences early tomorrow morning…”

The emperor nodded calmly,

"Before Yu'er ascended the throne, something like this happened to him. Although it was a bit cruel, it could be regarded as a spur to him, telling him not to think about things too simply. I have already predicted that there will be no peace before the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. , please tell him later: Put the jade seal away, and don’t expose it even on the day of your enthronement, lest it fall into the hands of others.”

Liu Xi hurriedly bowed and nodded,

"The old slave understands, the old slave will go now."

The emperor watched Liu Xi leave with a sense of loss, sighed deeply, and murmured to himself:

"From ancient times to the present, how many people have fought to the death for this throne. If I were allowed to go back to the past, I... would never do that."

Speaking of this, he closed his eyes tightly and thought of Leng Zian, who was expelled from the capital, and felt a little more melancholy and regretful.

There is a cool breeze at night, and the closer it gets to night, the easier it is for the cool breeze to invade people's hearts and spleens.

Yuwangfu

The mourning hall of the little twins was built in the main hall of Prince Yu's Mansion. A Cai, who had dried up her tears, knelt in front of the coffin and put burning paper into the brazier with blank eyes. The rising flames shone on her pale face. And the red and swollen eyes made people feel distressed.

It all happened so suddenly that she didn't even react. She even felt like it was a dream, a nightmare that she wanted to wake up from.

Several girls and servants standing around were all wearing filial piety belts, their heads lowered and their faces heavy.

Leng Yu sat in the main hall, quietly looking at the coffin of the little twins, his eyes were red, and there was a look of hatred in his eyes.

He secretly vowed in his heart that no matter what, he would find the murderer of Xiao Shuangzi and avenge him.

At this time, Luo Lan brought Huaiyu, Yicheng, An'an, and Lele to kowtow to the little twins. They all wore heavy filial piety on their bodies to show their respect for the little twins.

Several children knelt in front of Little Shuangzi's coffin one by one, kowtowing, but Huaiyu's heart began to feel uneasy.

He didn't dare to look up at the dazzling paint-red coffin, nor did he dare to dwell on the person lying in the coffin.

At this time, Leng Yu suddenly stood up from his seat, came to the coffin with wide-eyed eyes, and roared in a fierce voice:

"General Shuang, look at your nephews and nieces. They are here to express their condolences to you. You have a spirit in heaven. You must protect your brothers from finding your murderer as soon as possible and avenging you..."

His voice was sad and unwilling.

After hearing this, Huaiyu shrank involuntarily and his face turned pale.

But Luo Lan could tell that he said this deliberately in front of Huaiyu, which inevitably made her hate Leng Yu's behavior a little more.

It wasn't until the children left here that Luo Lan looked at him and said solemnly:

"I know you are sad. People from Shuntian Mansion are already investigating, and Zhang Yuan has also led people to investigate. Sooner or later, things will come to light. I hope you will not make any assumptions or go anywhere until the facts are clear. Doubt others.”

Leng Yu raised his gloomy eyes and looked at him, pointed at the coffin, gritted his teeth and roared:

"The person is already dead, and you are still saying that I am making unreasonable assumptions? Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth and avenge the little twins."

Having said this, he gritted his teeth and swung his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion.

The sky gradually darkened, and the air was filled with the smell of burning paper.

Luo Lan took off his cloak, came to A Cai, put it on her body, then squatted next to her, looked at the burning paper money, and comforted softly:

"The deceased is gone, so you have to express your condolences. The little twin is gone, and I will take good care of you for him."

The tears A Cai had been holding back finally burst out at this moment. Luo Lan quickly held her in his arms and comforted her with choked sobs:

"Ah Cai, I know you are feeling bitter, but God wants to play tricks on you, what can you do? Don't worry, the prince will definitely find out his murderer, and he will not let his death be in vain."

A Cai kept sobbing and muttering to herself:

"I originally thought I could spend the rest of my life hand in hand with him, but I didn't expect that he abandoned me halfway. Now I have nothing. From now on, I will only have you, ah... uh uh..."

At this point, she began to cry heartbreakingly, and Luo Lan's tears kept sliding down her cheeks.

The dead will never see how sad the living are.

"A Cai, go back and rest for a while. Don't worry, I'll ask someone to replace you."

"Do not."

Ah Cai shook her head vigorously, knelt straight again, and murmured sadly while adding paper money to the copper basin:

"In this life, I can only spend a few days with him. I want to spend more time with him. I'm fine. I'm not tired. If he's leaving, he must also want to see more of me. I'm really not tired, really. Not tired……"

She seemed to be talking to herself or to the little twins.

Luo Lan knew how painful her heart was at this moment. She did not persuade her anymore, but helped her straighten her cloak, got up, and came to the yard.

She raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky, feeling indescribable in her heart.

These things have all come together recently, making her feel that this day is particularly gloomy.

This was the most troublesome time she had felt since she had been in Prince Yu's Mansion for so long.

What went wrong?Why do these chaotic things happen one after another?

She suddenly thought of what An An had said to her during the day, so she frowned, raised her feet, and walked towards the backyard.
